Published: October 1989

The Authors present three cases of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) in pregnancy and discuss about problem of diagnosis and management of NHL in this condition.

On the other hand the management of NHL is problematic because radiotherapy is potentially teratogenic. (By editorial staff).
